Saw them coming and a going
Oh the captains and the kings
Ah the navy blue uniform
See them bright and shiney things
Hoo!
Bright and shiney things

Captains and kings
In the ships hold
Come to collect…
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

(I saw them a coming)
Temperature is a rising
Uh and the fever white hot
Mister I ain’t got nothing
But it’s more than you’ve got
Chains no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free
Set them free
Set them!

Prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

Yeah Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

You can stop the world from turning ‘round
Just gotta pay your penny in the pound
